Detroit resident Arthur Williams has been presented with a real puzzler. Why, after paying $1,100 to have his stolen car returned to him from an impound lot, did police come and take it away only 15 minutes later? Mr. Williams, who documented the incident with his cell phone camera, brought the story to WJBK FOX 2 News.

Poor guy. His car is stolen. A year later he has to pay to get his own car back. (I just looked up the Blue Book value for this car--if in "good" condition: $1880.) And then they freaking smash it and take it away again?

I would have blown my top.
